whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, McGillis?

You know that commercial where Webster or Willis or Gary Coleman whatever comes on and declares, "Money makes the world go ’round" while spinning some globe half his size? Doncha just wanna take a sawed off shotgun and aim it square at his cerebrum and pull the trigger? Hard?

It’s actually love, not money, that makes the world go ’round, but money certainly does pull its own weight. And it’s the kind of weight that just sits on your stomach and makes you feel sick until you find some leverage to lift it off. Unfortunately, our financial system is such that you make one error, and it avalanches upon you threefold. That is, you get an overdraft fee, possibly a returned item/check fee, and then a negative balance fee. It’s genius, really. And also somewhat diabolical.

In any case, the lesson to be learned here is Teach…your children well..how to spend…their allowance well…. lest they get fuuuuuucked over…byyyyy the bank…
